This route climbs up to the Ermita del Cristo del Zapato from the Embalse de Béznar. The route is 10.5 km long, has an elevation of 536 m and takes about 4 hours to complete.
This mainly linear route starts by the Embalse de Béznar. From here, we follow the Sendero de Alauxa to Pinos del Valle. We walk through the village and then start the steady ascent, zigzagging up to the Ermita del Cristo del Zapato at 1020 m. Here, there is a viewpoint with amazing views of the surrounding areas. This is the highest point of the route. We then follow the same track down but halfway down, we follow the track to the right and make our way gently down to the Cerro de los Cigarrones. Once again, we walk through the village to return back to the starting point.
